2018 Buty Sémillon/Sauvignon/Muscadelle

Columbia Valley Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more

8/11/2020 - goodvitis.com Likes this wine: 92 points

This improves a bit with half an hour in the decanter, the nose wafts orange blossom, Meyer lemon zest, white tea leaf and dried apricot. It’s nearly full bodied with lush acid and a bit of creaminess, the palate delivers pear, guava, lemon curd, honeysuckle and finishes with a limey zest. This is very enjoyable now, but I think it will be at its best in 3-5 years.

I love this wine. Semillon/Sauv Blanc/Muscadelle blend hitting on all cylinders. Multiple layers of fruit, acid and viscous elements make a wonderful sipper. Can't give a food pairing because the bottle didn't it that far!

Lovely Bordeaux blanc from WA state. Lemon, chamomile tea with just the right touch of oak spice. Excellent.

Tasted after 1 hour of air. Pale golden color. Zippy acidity. Quince fruit. Some gooseberries. A hint of mineral. Quite a bit going on here. Hard to figure out all of the interesting angles to this wine. Very complex. Well balanced. Goes great with food. Nice finish.

A toss up between this and the Delille Chaleur Blanc on the best white Bordeaux blend in Washington State.

Vivid yellow color. Quince at the forefront with hints of gooseberry and lemongrass. Great body that makes the leap from sipper to main course accompaniament without overt ripeness or oak.

The Semillon initially takes center stage, with notes of stonefruit and hay leading the way. Tropical fruit notes weave in later, with hints of gooseberry in the mix as well. Oak is a tad heavy, and it could benefit from more acidity, but this is well-made and tasty overall.

Wrote this note on day 2. Lively acidity. Some sweet melon fruit. Lychee?
Nice balance. Plenty of mid palate lift. A bit of heat here in the background but it doesn't distract. Nice persistence on the finish.

Very enjoyable and popular at a pre-Christmas fish grill dinner! Light yellow. Pear and green apple on the nose. A little oak on the palate, but not in any way overwhelming. Would have liked to let this age a bit, but drinking pretty nice in any event...

The delicate nose boasts lemon cream, lime zest, dried apricot, white peach and pear. Just short of full bodied, it offers a creamy mouthfeel elevated by broad and slightly juicy acid. Flavors include pear, Key lime, marzipan, peach pie and Opal apple. This is a really nice, subtle expression of chardonnay that's well made and seamless.

This has aged beautifully and I imagine is very near or at peak. Aromas of unbuttered popcorn, preserved lemon, light caramel, kiwi skin, cantaloupe, and pear. Full bodied with a dense, mineral-driven acid and fleshy mouthfeel. Beautiful structure and balance. Flavors include sweet lemon peel, kiwi, white peach, orchid, and flinty. The finish is decently persistent and very juicy. This is special stuff, and makes me extra sad that Buty is no longer. Drink this in the next year.

Tasted after 1 hour of air. Medium golden color. Lemon, apple, and pear fruit. Waxy notes. Good persistence on the palate. Some hints of grassy notes that must come from the Sauvignon. A lean style. Very nice.

Since my opinion differs totally from others, let me admit I am a white wine dabbler, not a fan especially, nor knowledgable. I do like some puligny montrachet, chablis, roero arneis, even Bainbridge island ferryboat white, and madeleine angevine. I usually prefer sweeter to more acidic, e.g. pinot blanc or pinot bianco over sauvignon blanc, but this wine tastes to me dully sweet, unpleasantly flavored and essentially undrinkable, and the word "plonk" even crossed my mind. After reading these very favorable reviews I tried it again today thinking I had imagined my bad impression, but no. I have enjoyed semillon in the past so maybe it is the inclusion of muscadelle, which sounds to me like some wild crude grape off the trees in rural Tennessee. So you should probably listen to those who know better, as I am apparently still a hopeless red wine guy, in spite of attempts to broaden myself. But if like me, your favorite wine is chateaux latour or andrew will sorella, or even rioja, then you may want to pass on this.

Buty call!!! Where I think I preferred the more intense crystalline texture of this wine a year ago, it's still going strong. Quince fruit with yellow apple, elegant.
